Xerox called police to its Cary facility Friday morning just before laying off 168 employees.
The company called 911 around 6 a.m. to request a police presence at their Crescent Green Drive facility.

Cary Dispatch confirmed to ABC11 that Xerox said they "were expecting trouble."

There were no reports of trouble at the company after they laid off the employees from its call center operation. "Today we told employees and local government that we were closing call center operations for one specific line of business at our facility in Cary," said Bill McKee with Xerox's public relations department." These reductions, while very difficult decisions, reflect the changing business requirements of our clients. Our primary focus is on our employees."

  1. Are you kidding me? This " These reductions, while very difficult decisions, reflect the changing business requirements of our clients." does not coincide with this "Our primary focus is on our employees." They pay this guy to speak in public?

  2. Why do these companies always lay off employees just before Christmas?

    1. Could be because they are running up to the end of the year and realize that they can't make payroll.
